Santa's going to need a bigger garage


Having challenged readers of this blog to contribute versions of Santa's sleigh to this collection in the 3D Warehouse, I have to admit that I wasn't sure what we'd get.

About forty-five creative souls ponied up (reindeered up?) a model or two, and a good number of your sleighs are fantastic. This wasn't a competition, so I won't be announcing any winners, but here's a web gallery with images of some of our favorites. For those of you who would rather sit back and watch, the ever-changing image at the top of this post runs though them all.

One more thing: a not-insignificant number of the sleighs submitted came from active members of the SketchUp 3D Challenge. These talented folks from around the world build models every week in response to a different subject -- this week's is to design a Star Wars podracer. If you want to hone your SketchUp skills, or you just want a forum for gathering tips and feedback about your work, you should definitely check it out.

  2. The Hover Jet is my favorite. The others have great ideas and with more detail in places and less "Squares" would look amazing.
